MINNEAPOLIS -- Winless for almost a month, the Chicago White Sox are making the worst kind of history.
The struggling White Sox lost their 20th consecutive game Sunday, the majors' longest skid in 36 years and one short of the American League record, as Chris Flexen was chased early in a 13-7 defeat against the Minnesota Twins.
"Running out of words for it," Flexen said.
Royce Lewis hit a three-run home run off Flexen in a six-run second inning that gave Minnesota an 8-0 cushion. The White Sox (27-87) rallied and cut it to 10-7 in the eighth, but couldn't get any closer.
"At the end of the day, we've lost 20 in a row. That's painful. That [stinks]," Manager Pedro Grifol said. "We've just got to find a way to put that behind us and go out there and be professionals and do what we have to do tomorrow."
